Buying CygnusEd 5 online
« on: October 16, 2010, 03:09:45 AM »
Does anyone know if it is possible (and if so, where) to buy Cygnus Ed 5 for OS 4 online WITHOUT having to have a physical copy shipped to me?  Buy and get an unlocking keyfile/code type deal or something?

I really can't be buggered to wait for delivery on this, in the modern age of buy and download style software - I don't need a physical copy in the least.  It's a terrific program, the only thing keeping me from buying it immediately is I detest rinky dinking with overseas companies and the delivery/tax costs for a 50 buck piece of software.  Amiga dealers in Canada aren't growing on trees, to put it mildly.  :(

If this isn't offered, anyone have any suggestions as to a similar text editor program I can use to get back into coding with on my SAM and OS 4.1?

Thanks,
Duce

Yeah, CED was always a terrific program, I just can't get past the issue of being forced to buy it retail and have it shipped from England/Europe to Canada.  When I bought my SAM from a vendor over there, the sale was terrific up until it came to it being shipped -  it arrived and the box was all mangled and looked like it had been opened, not to mention the shipper "losing" the item for a week mysteriously, added fees, etc.  Not an experience I want to repeat and the cost by the time it got here would be pushing it for Amiga software buying CED retail.  Will have a look at OS 4 Depot and see what's around for OS 4 native text editors, thanks all!
